Senator Sweater Vest declares “War on Porn”

RICKSANTORUM

Republican presidential candidate Sen. Rick Santorum wants to put you in prison. It’s either that or make all Internet porn illegal.

Now, I’m sure you’re going to think I’m insane for making that statement but it’s actually Santorum who’s the nut. Santorum, yesterday, put out a statement on his own website declaring he supports those who are fighting a “War on Pornography.” Claiming that the Obama administration continued to favor “pornographers over children and families,” Santorum said he would “vigorously enforce” federal pornography laws. Here’s an example of what’s a felony and could put you in federal prison for decades under current federal law:

* viewing pornography on the Internet

* looking at pornography on cable or satellite television

* viewing pornography in a hotel room

* watching an adult film that came from any retail outlet or in the mail

So, if you’ve EVER looked at any porn on the Internet, even on your own computer in your own home you are a criminal according to Rick Santorum. You can be imprisoned for 10 years or more. Seriously. Likewise, if you’ve ever legally watched something on tv his Attorney General deems obscene you can face jail time. Santorum specifically cites “cable and satellite television” as something he’s going to pursue “vigorously.” Even if HBO chose what to broadcast that still makes you a criminal if you’ve ever watched. Ever rented any pay-per-view adult films that your cable or satellite company has a record of? Forget it, they can lock you up and throw away the key on multiple felony counts. Hell, a Santorum administration could theoretically subpoena pay-per-view records from companies forcing them to turn over your rental records for the specific purpose of prosecuting you.

If you’ve ever watched an adult film in your own house that you legally rented from ANY “retail” outlet or got sent to you in the mail you can face serious jail time on obscenity and federal pornography charges. Same if you’ve ever watched an adult movie in a hotel room. It’s technically illegal to view pornography in a hotel.

These aren’t my interpretations. They’re Santorum’s. Don’t believe me? He flat out states all of these things are illegal on his website which you can check for yourself at www.ricksantorum.com .

The lede in The Daily Caller today (not exactly a lefty publication) is, “Internet pornography could conceivably become a thing of the past if Rick Sanorum is elected president.”

In 2009, the University of Montreal set out to do a study on the effects of pornography on men. They sought to study how men who viewed porn treated women and if it was different than men who had never watched an adult movie. The study was cancelled. Why? Because the university literally couldn’t find a single man who had never watched porn in his life. Let me repeat: they couldn’t find ANY man who had never viewed pornography. Not a single one. Don’t believe me? Here’s the story:
